    well MIA for a couple of days, was busy at work so not really time to come on during lunch, and had a friend round one evening and was wrapping pressies last night. Still not finished the pressies but i'll finish them this weekend when i'm on my own, OH is working both days :(

    Found out today what i wil be paid next friday so i can have some fun this weekend plugging in the numbers and checking all my accounts etc so i can see what Jan is going to be like. Probably as squeaky as a very squeaky mouse!
    I'm also going to have another look at a forward budget for next year. i am very good at monitoring when i'm going to be debt free, and what's in my account on each day but i feel that i need to do a bit of monthly cash flow budgetting.

    No harm in budgetting for the long term, but sometimes you do also need that closer up view of things, don't you.

    Mmmm to your beach Pippi - I wish we were closer to a beach, our nearest is an hour and a half away, roughly, which isn't much by many people's standards I know. It's one reason why we try to spend as much time as possible in Norfolk during the summer weekends when we can camp. It's also of course one of the prime draws of the Hebrides.

    Lovely beach - was just saying that I miss the water! That's a lovely walk on your back door step! May even try and talk OH into a trip when the weather improves.

    Hope you are keeping warm and safe.
